Chef-owner Johnny Curiel’s first solo venture, the highly anticipated Alma Fonda Fina, opened in December 2023, and less than a year later, it earned one Michelin star. The menu is a love letter to the home-cooked traditions of the chef’s childhood and the comfort food found at traditional fondas across Mexico. Snag a spot at […]
Color photos of menu items clutter the front window of this little shoebox Hawaiian joint in suburban Thornton, offering the promise of a filling, comforting and inexpensive meal inside — a Spam musubi here will set you back less than the price of a cup of coffee elsewhere. Aloha’s interior leans strongly toward the Spartan, […]
Think all Thai restaurants have to offer is pad Thai and crab-cheese wontons? Think again. Aloy Modern Thai, which opened in February 2016 in the Ballpark neighborhood, does serve the ubiquitous noodle and fried-cheese dishes, but its menu is packed with subtle and sophisticated dishes, as well: kobe tenderloin in a tangy tamarind sauce; mild […]

While it’s squashed into a small mall overlooking a parking lot, the interior feel of Arugula is gracious, modern and warm – and the Northern Italian food turned out by chef/owner Alec Schuler has the same contemporary hominess. The seasonal menu features farm-to-table ingredients, many of them locally sourced; the roster is rich with such […]
Jefferson Park is an up-and-coming part of Denver — but has it arrived as a dining destination? Amass was opened in the fall of 2014 by chef-owner Joe Troupe, formerly of Lucky Pie Pizza & Tap House, who took over the space in a new residential development that Corner House had vacated following an eighteen-month […]
Experience, romance, theatricality: You get these in spades at Ambli. Hospitality, too, which starts with a warm tableside welcome from co-owner Pariza Mehta’s father, a longtime restaurateur who was born in Tanzania, then came to Denver via London and Dallas. But it doesn’t end with him: Servers and runners are equally eager to please, as […]

American Elm opened in 2019 with a seasoned pro calling the shots. Taking inspiration from Williamsburg, Brooklyn, where owner Bob Reiter previously lived, the restaurant is a neighborhood bistro with an elevated approach that makes it worth a trip to Highland, if that doesn’t happen to be your neighborhood. And the bar offerings are among […]
Iain Chisholm, chef/owner of Americatus Restaurant & Market, which opened in the summer of 2012 in the Ballpark neighborhood, is the epitome of an entrepreneur. His first food venture was a lemonade stand when he was in elementary school; he went on to earn two degrees from Johnson & Wales and work for local restaurateur […]
The line can be long at Amore Gelato, which opened on the 16th Street Mall in summer 2010. But for those who prefer Italian-style gelato and sorbet to ice cream, its more calorie-rich American counterpart, the wait is well worth it. Styled as a modern European sweet shop, Amore Gelato draws tourists walking off big […]
Although this European bakery and tea room serves light lunches (the menu changes daily, but think salads, schnitzels and quiches), the real draw is the gorgeous desserts. A seemingly endless array of cakes, brownies, kuchens, strudels, candies and tarts of all shapes and flavors grace the shelves at Andre’s. Any of these beautifully decorated treats […]

Angelo’s Taverna bills itself as Denver’s original pizza and oyster bar – and since it’s been serving central Denver since the Nixon administration, it’s safe to say that it’s the longest-running restaurant of its ilk, though it’s now on its second owners (who opened a second outpost in Littleton). Even if you love oysters raw, […]
Now well into its fourth decade, this Italian eatery has real staying power, and it’s easy to see why. The space, which feels like it’s been made to order for the neighbors, is fueled by a quintessential red sauce, a thick gravy of tomatoes that goes well with Angelo’s homemade pasta and meatballs. The spot […]
Move over, Colonel: There’s a new KFC in town. Angry Chicken brought Korean fried chicken to Havana Street at the end of 2017, making the spicy, crackly bird more accessible than ever in metro Denver. And definitely more delicious. With a swank dining room, well-stocked bar (fried chicken is bar food, after all) and roster […]
